Wrong Answer, Dumb-ass [ 1 ] (Thiam)

Chapter 045

The next morning Corey pads down the hallway to Theo's room ready to wake him up to take Liam into school, and from there Mason would likely drive him home if he didn't have lacrosse practice, the duo never knocked before entering, opening the door Corey searches for the switch, shielding his eyes from the glare.

"Aye Raeken, get your hairy ass up."

He never showed any signs of coherence, moaning tiredly, Corey grabs the blankets and yanks them off the bed, shrieking from the unexpected other body in the bed Corey topples backwards falling into the bookshelf.

Theo's eyes snapped open, searching for the source of the unwanted noise, there on the floor was Corey curled up in the older boys blankets, "what the fuck?"

"Why the hell is Liam in your bed?" Corey coughed as he got to his feet.

"Corey, Liam isn't in my bed, what are you talking about?" His voice drifts off as he feels a body roll into his, closing his eyes Theo realises that his friend is in fact right, "I'm taking a shower" he replies instantly without looking at either boy, "and I suggest you do the same because you stink and there's cum in your hair."

By the time Liam wakes up he's alone in a bed that isn't his, it smells of Theo but he wasn't sure why, he hears running water and music blaring from the ensuite that's attached to the bedroom, he definitely wasn't home and the house wasn't Mason or Haydens either, but why would it be if the bed smelt like Theo?

Grabbing a blanket from the floor, Liam wrapped it around his shoulders and walked over to the door where the music was coming from, it felt steamy.

"Don't do it" said a voice behind him, "he'll kill you, trust me I've made the same mistake."

Turning around to see Corey with a towel around his hips Liam looked towards the floor, he was at Theo's and potentially slept with him? The last thing he remembered was being pissed about what Theo has said to him 'whatever Corey said, its not true.'

"I don't remember a thing" Liam said honestly, "did you guys drug me?"

Corey laughed, out of everything they could get accused of, it was drugging a young, innocent boy, "we didn't drug you Li, you passed out after eating four large pizzas on your own, before Mason drove home he carried you upstairs and put you in Theo's bed, go downstairs and have some breakfast before you sort yourself out."

It wasn't the ordeal of waking up in Theo's bed that bothered Liam, nor was it the fact Theo rushed him in the shower or made him wear his clothes because he had none, it was the fact he refused to speak to him on the ride to school, Liam had tried to start conversation but Theo would tell him to shut up or he'd crash the car killing them both which he thought was a little extreme.

"What did I do wrong?" Liam asked as he twisted around in the seat to look at Theo, his lips curled inwards as he thought the question over in his head.

Theo refused to answer, he didn't say a word until he pulled into the parking lot, turning the engine off he unclipped his seat belt and leant against the door, staring at the boy across from him he wondered whether this feeling was because he'd been woken up too early.

"You didn't do anything wrong, but this 'relationship' we've got going has pushed boundaries it wasn't meant to" Theo said, he watched students walk by with a care in the world, "I'm meant to be your tutor Liam and currently I feel like we're anything but student and tutor" after a long pause and screaming thoughts that enveloped every part of his body Theo pointed to himself and then Liam, "this needs to stop, I don't know what we are and Scott hates me. Get out the truck and forget I exist."

In that moment Liam felt empty, grabbing his bag from the floor he climbed out the car and never looked back.
